There is! That beta text in the corner is optionally shown or disabled by pressing F6 by default. Also, Alt+F6 will instead enable a "Minecraft Beta 1.7.3" message if you prefer that.
Thanks for checking it out, and I'm glad you enjoy it! I've had a couple people mention that problem, and I think I found the source of the issue, so I'll be publishing a new update or patch soon.
Ah, I see what you mean. That'll unfortunately be tough for me to test too, as I use an AMD Ryzen CPU and AMD Radeon GPU, but I'll look into it a bit at least, and I'll let you know if I find a long-term solution anywhere too.
Now that I have no idea about, unfortunately. I'm most familiar with beta 1.7.3, and I'm a bit active in the community from alpha to release 1.2.5, but not much knowledge beyond that. I found Dereku's M1 fix from the Modification Station Discord server, but I'm not sure they'd have anything up to that version.
Oh sure! I haven't released one since the original code to fix it isn't mine, but here's a link to the standalone fix originally created by Dereku. I have no idea if it's Optifine compatible, but it's probably worth a shot! https://www.mediafire.com/file/k3pextx6zfdx0vg/M1Fix.zip/file
I like that idea a lot! I'm not quite to that point yet, but more decorated/differentiated biomes are definitely going on my list of plans to eventually be added!
That's actually exactly what my plan is! I've deviated slightly from the plan as written at the bottom of the post, mainly because I found a few extra vanilla bugs I wanted to fix, and I wanted to get multiplayer working (which it now is!)
Basically, I've been taking my time and will actually be releasing 1.7.6 before 1.8 because I want to make sure 1.7 as an "update" is as fully developed and polished as it can be. But yes, any additional vanilla fixes I make once moving onto B2B1.8 or later will be backported to 1.7 as patches (eg "1.7.6_01" or something similar). LTS is a great way of thinking about it!
Ah, that's good to know! Thanks for the heads-up. I'll take a closer look into what sort of similar features I might want to add, and else I can do to alleviate lag. I greatly appreciate the advice!
Yeah, I'm thinking I'll probably start a Discord server. Enough people have asked for one, and it would be nice to be able to update people on current progress there.
Optifine improvements are a great idea! I'd love to implement that if I can get it working with all the existing changes. My focus is currently on getting everything working in multiplayer (via a modded version of Project Poseidon) but once I get that working reliably, I'll look into adding a few Optifine improvements to the client.
Thanks for the suggestions!! Funnily enough, I actually had this idea before I knew about NSSS, but I've been following that mod for a while, and it's what inspired me to actually try and make this project a reality.
Thanks for checking out my mod! Unfortunately I believe Fycraft is incompatible with Back2Beta, as my mod changes a LOT of the base files, including some that Fycraft uses. That said, I do plan to add hoppers in a future release, (and it's one that adds very little else) so that may work as a solution, albeit with a bit of a wait.
I actually don't have a Discord channel for the project, but maybe I should. I'll think about making one. Now the good news is I've already got increased build height and upside-down stairs in the works for the Modern Tweaks update.
As for cats, I'm not sure they're something I want to add at this point, (as I want to keep all the overworld mobs the same) but if enough people are interested, I'd probably do it.
(If it really means a lot to you, I would consider making a version with cats just for you, assuming I can get them ported decently. No promises, cause a lot of the code from the modern game is totally different and might require too much effort, but I'd give it a shot.)
Absolutely! I do have more features planned for future updates, but the bugfixes and quality of life changes will always be available as a separate update/download from anything else, as I know that's what a lot of people are most interested in.

I probably will add animal breeding at some point. It might be a while before it gets added though...

Ooh great idea! I'll definitely add that in an upcoming update!
In the meantime, it was actually pretty simple to throw together a basic implementation of Hardcore in beta, so here's a mod just for that for b1.7.3:

And I'll totally look into adding a frame cap

I'll definitely look into that bug! Thanks for bringing it to my attention!
